Verdict
This looks like a straight match between St Regs and Treasure House and the latter edges a narrow vote on the grounds of anticipated improvement. The Brian Meehan-trained selection is a half-brother to the speedy Chookie Heiton and has inherited a useful turn of foot from his dam's side. The son of Grand Lodge made an encouraging debut here at the end of July and looked to be a winner in the making when making a bold bid for glory at Salisbury in his latest outing. Treasure House had to concede second best to a potentially smart rival on that occasion but may have too much toe for St Regs today. Shinko Femme looks to be the best of the rest but still has improvement to find.
